I'm connecting a U.2 SSD drive to my computer with a U.2 USB enclosure. The drive was never tested by me, and it's a classic ex-enterprise drive, the ones removed from a server and sold second-hand, susceptible to being getting rid of because faulty. However, I'm not an expert of the interface and I've bought an adapter specifically to be able to connect this drive.
Obviously, something is not working, but I can't tell if the drive is corrupted or if the adapter is not working properly. Here is the output of

Can anybody clarify this for me?
